Island Hopping Adventures Continue at Ivisan, Capiz

This trip was so fun, adventures and we were truly able to see the beauty of some nearby islands in the area. One of those are unspoiled beaches, small islands and rock formation. It is situated western part of Panay and approximately 1 hour travel from Roxas City. If you're looking for an awesome weekend beach bumming adventure, this is the place to be with. The water is so clear and a lot of corals around the reef . We enjoyed taking photos in our banca and some of my friends looking forward to our next beach experience soon. Two of the most popular town spots in Capiz with a great view of beaches and islands are Ivisan and Sapian. Take note that there is no life vest, snorkeling gear and diving equipment in the area. After a long day of island hopping, we headed back to the fish port and bought some oyster. This is my highlights of my year 2013 and I explore picturesque islands of my hometown, wander quiet beach, swim and enjoy the sun.

Mabaay Rock Formation In Ivisan, Capiz

Rock Formations & Small Cave in Mabaay Island or Martelinos Island. It is must side trip from the beach area to the rock formation. Although some area has a stiff rock formation, the beauty of this island would be definitely a rewarding trip for me. It's fun to imagine how long it will takes to built this area of the island. One of the adventures I would love is trekking and along the way beating the rocky and steep trails is a challenge. This is a perfect venue for outdoor enthusiast and travelers like me. In Addition, I also enjoyed the cool breeze and calm water of the place. We took a lot of photos with my friends and cousins. It is definitely a great summer vacation to all who wants a nature tripping and bonding with friends. The activity was tiresome but you will surely forget the exhaustion one you reach this area of the island.
